| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a scene drawn directly from the Astérix album 'Astérix aux Jeux Olympiques', illustrating the theme of fraternity. The druid Panoramix (Getafix) is shown in encounter with a Greek figure, representing the Gauls' journey to Athens to participate in the Olympic Games and their fraternization with the Greek inhabitants. The composition is rendered in the distinctive ligne claire comic-strip style of artist Albert Uderzo. The legend 'FRATERNITÉ' appears as part of the design, along with the artist's name 'UDERZO' as a tribute to the original creator of the artwork. |
